            <p>Although this is a free event, we are requesting that people register in advance
                and we will be limiting attendance to a maximum of 300 attendees. Registration has
                almost reached the half way mark. We still have room for about 150 more people. You can reserve
                your space by <a href="http://sv-gtug-3.eventbrite.com">registering here online</a>.</p>

            <img src="/image/head-description.jpg" width="122" height="25" border="0" alt="Description">
            <p>During the main meeting starting at 7:10pm, Googlers Lane LiaBraaten and Arne Roomann-Kurrik
                will give us an update on OpenSocial in general. Plus, Lou Moore will give us an update on
                <a href="http://www.hi5networks.com/developer/2008/02/sample-app-for-opensocial-07.html">Hi5's</a>
                OpenSocial application support.</p>
            <p>During the networking hour starting at 6:15pm, the plan is to allow for multiple technical
                discussions in small groups to be conducted in parallel. To kick this off, we are pleased
                to have Jason Chen -- a developer advocate for Android -- on hand to answer your questions
                about the latest SDK update. The release of m5-rc14 has introduced many changes to the
                Android SDK. You can find more details about these changes at:</p>
            <ul>
                <li><a href="http://code.google.com/android/migrating/m3-to-m5/m5-api-changes.html">http://code.google.com/android/migrating/m3-to-m5/m5-api-changes.html</a></li>

            </ul>
            <p>For this meeting, there are no other pre-arranged networking hour technical discussions
                to announce in advance.
                However, this is <b>your</b> user group and the hope is over time to have our members
                take more of a leadership role in organizing informal technical discussions around
                particular Google technologies. For example, Siamak Ashrafi has stepped forward as
                our first <a href="/contact.html#champions">Technology Champion</a> to arrange for
                Jason Chen's participation this month.</p>
